-=head1 NAME
-
-Bugzilla::Markdown - Generates HTML output from structured plain-text input.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Bugzilla::Markdown;
-
- my $markdown = Bugzilla::Markdown->new();
- print $markdown->markdown($text);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-Bugzilla::Markdown implements a Markdown engine that produces
-an HTML-based output from a given plain-text input.
-
-The majority of the implementation is done by C<Text::Markdown>
-CPAN module. It also applies the linkifications done in L<Bugzilla::Template>
-to the input resulting in an output which is a combination of both Markdown
-structures and those defined by Bugzilla itself.

-
-<h2>What is Markdown?</h2>
-
-  Markdown is a simple text formatting language that enables you to write your
-  [%+ terms.comments %] in plain-text and have them generated as HTML. Markdown
-  in [%+ terms.Bugzilla %] supports the following structures:
-
-  <ul>
-    <li><a href="#headers">Headers</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#blockquotes">Blockquotes</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#emphasis">Emphasis</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#lists">Lists</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#code">Code</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#strikethroughs">Strikethroughs</a></li>
-    <li><a href="#links">Links</a></li>
-  </ul>
-
-<h2 id="headers">Headers</h2>
-
-  You have two options for making headers. First, you may use any number of
-  equal signs (for first-level header) or dashes (for second-level headers).
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        This is an H1 header
-        ====================
-
-        This is an H2 header
-        --------------------
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  Second, you can use hash signs at the beginning of the line to specify the
-  level of the header from 1 to 6.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        # This is the largest header (H1 level)
-        ### This is a small header (H3 level)
-        ###### This is the smallest header (H6 level)
-     </code>
-   </pre>
-  </p>
-
-<h2 id="blockquotes">Blockquotes</h2>
-
-  Use a closing angle bracket (<code>&gt;</code>) at the beginning of the line
-  to indicate a line as quoted.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        &gt; Some text to be quoted.
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-<h2 id="emphasis">Emphasis</h2>
-
-  Single underscores or asterisks will make the text italic. Double underscores
-  or asterisks will make the text bold.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        _This text will become italic_
-        *This text also will become italic*
-
-        __But this one will be bold__
-        **And this one as well**
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  Turns into
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <em>This text will become italic</em>
-      <em>This text also will become italic</em>
-      <br>
-      <strong>But this one will be bold</strong>
-      <strong>And this one as well</strong>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  Use different signs to combine them nestedly in order to avoid ambiguity:
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        _This [% terms.bug %] **must** be resolved ASAP._
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  <strong>Note:</strong> [% terms.Bugzilla %] will skip emphasizing words that
-  have the form of <code>multiple_underscore_in_a_word</code>. This measure is
-  taken to not emphasize words that are possible programming variables. If your
-  word has this form and you still want it to become emphasized/bold, you must
-  use single/double asterisks (<code>*</code>) instead of underscores
-  (<code>_</code>).
-
-<h2 id="lists">Lists</h2>
-
-  Markdown supports both unordered and ordered lists.
-
-  <h3>Unordered Lists</h3>
-
-    Use asterisks (<code>*</code>), pluses (<code>+</code>) or hyphens
-    (<code>-</code>) to mark the items of an unordered list.
-
-    <p>
-      <pre>
-        <code>
-          + First item
-          + Second item
-          + Third item
-        </code>
-      </pre>
-    </p>
-
-  <h3>Ordered Lists</h3>
-
-    Use a number followed by a period to denote an item of an ordered list.
-
-    <p>
-      <pre>
-        <code>
-          1. Item one
-          4. Item two
-          3. Item three
-        </code>
-      </pre>
-    </p>
-
-    <strong>Note:</strong> Your numbers have no effect on the rendered item
-    numbers and the rendered numbers are automatically generated. Your numbers
-    are only used to specify the items of an ordered list.<br>
-
-    <p>
-      A list item can have nested lists recursively:
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-      <pre>
-        <code>
-          1. Item one
-          4. Item two
-          3. Item three
-            * First sub-item
-            * Second sub-item
-          5. Item four
-        </code>
-      </pre>
-    </p>
-
-<h2 id="code">Code</h2>
-
-  To make a part of your text to get generated as a piece of code, use one or
-  more backticks (<code>`</code>) and close that
-  part with the same number of backticks.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>Please see the manual for `printf` function.</code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  If you want to make some lines of code, you need to use 3 or more backticks at
-  the beginning of a line followed by your code lines and concluded by 3 or more
-  backticks.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        See my function:
-        ```
-        int sum(int x, int y) {
-          return x + y;
-        }
-        ```
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  You can also use a tab or [% constants.MARKDOWN_TAB_WIDTH FILTER html %] or
-  more spaces at the beginning of each line of your code to make the whole block
-  look as a code block. Please take care that you might make your lines as code
-  blocks by inadvertently indenting them.
-
-<h2 id="strikethroughs">Strikethroughs</h2>
-
-  Surround your text between a pair of two tildes to have your text crossed out.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        Module ~~Foo~~ is deprecated.
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-<h2 id="links">Links</h2>
-
-  Literal URLs and Email addresses get linkified automatically. Besides that,
-  you can define links with link texts and titles. You may define your links
-  either as inline or as a reference. To define a link as inline, put your link
-  text in square bracket immediately followed by a pair of parentheses which
-  containts the URL that you want your link to point to and an <em>optional</em>
-  link title surrounded by quotes.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        This is [Bugzilla](http://www.bugzilla.org "View Bugzilla Homepage")
-        [% terms.bug %] tracking system.</code>
-        This [example link](http://www.example.com) does not have title.
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  To define your links in a reference style, define your links any where in
-  your [% terms.comment %] with the following format:
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        [bz]: http://www.bugzilla.org "Bugzilla Homepage"
-        [mz]: http://www.mozilla.org (Mozilla Homepage)
-      </code>
-    </pre>
-  </p>
-
-  That is, define a unique ID for each link in square brackets with their
-  corresponding URL and optional title in quotes or parentheses. Then, point to
-  those links simply by writing your link text in square brackets followed by
-  the ID in another pair of square brackets.
-
-  <p>
-    <pre>
-      <code>
-        [Bugzilla][bz] is open-sourced server software designed to help groups
-        manage software development. [Mozilla][mz] uses [Bugzilla][bz] to track
